Gay Noble

Gay Noble of Bellevue, MI, went to be with her Lord and Savior on April 11, 2024. Gay was born on May 14, 1951 in Lansing to the late L.R. and Nancy Gates. She married James Noble on September 4, 1970. Gay graduated from Bellevue High School in 1969 and started working the following week at Riverside Insurance Company and later at Clark Equipment Company until 1982. After being diagnosed with Lupus, she decided to be a stay at home mom.

She volunteered for Hospice for several years. Her hobbies included making baskets and ceramics and visiting the Upper Peninsula in Michigan. Gay enjoyed sitting by the water and fishing. She had a passion for horses and appreciated God’s beautiful creations. Her blessings included all of her friends, especially her “coffee gals.”

Gay is survived by her husband, Jim; daughters, La Nae (Jeff) Peek of Battle Creek, MI, Brandi Jo Million of St. Mary’s, GA. Her grandchildren were the delights of her heart. Grandchildren include Brayden Olmstead, Ethan Million and Anabelle Million. She is also survived by her brother, Craig (Glee) Gates of Spring Hill, FL; and brother-in-law, Stewart (Joanie) Noble of Sierra Vista, AZ; and many nieces and nephews.

At her request, cremation has taken place and a private graveside service will be held at a later date at Riverside Cemetery in Bellevue.

Arrangements are being cared for by the Baxter Funeral & Cremation Service.

In lieu of flowers, Gay’s final request was for you to take a loved one out to eat, clink a glass, and remember her. Her favorite words when saying goodbye were “toodles or poof.” So, toodles!
